What signs and symptoms in a patient are you having GI evaluate for an EGID?
EoE tends to have more esophageal symptoms so this not not often confused with EGIDs. In allergy, we tend to see a lot of older individuals with food intolerances causing bloating, gas, nausea, diarrhea and I wonder if these are under diagnosed symptoms that may be EGIDs. What patients are you initiating this work up for?

Non-EoE eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders can be challenging to diagnose on several different levels. One is the type of symptoms the patient is having. These symptoms of non-EoE eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders can vary based on the portion of the GI tract that is affected. I initiate a workup for non-EoE eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders for many different disease presentations, and one of the keys is that multiple biopsies are obtained when an EGD and colonoscopy are performed.
